<Resuming Celeste turn>
For the second Avatar of Dagon check:
Display Ride the Lightning and discard Disintegrate for d10+4d6+4.
Use one of the 3 villain henchman from a previous scenario for a die.
Use Grazzle's Blessing of Pharasma for 2 dice.
Use Radovan's Blessing of Mantis God for 2 dice.
Use Ranzak's Horus for 2 dice.
Bizarrely Radovan's armor gives me a die.
Discard Cloudburst to fully empty my hand and bite the seagod with a Poison bite (also bizarrely).
Combat 42:9d10 + 4d6 + 9 + 1d8 ⇒ (3, 4, 2, 10, 5, 6, 6, 3, 8) + (5, 6, 1, 3) + 9 + (1) = 72
(Would have been epic to fail that... I do have an auto-two-die reroll)
Avatar of Dagon defeated.
Location closes.
We win.
Hugs all around.
Celeste at world's end.
SOT: Bury Twisted Space.
Here I ask for Grazzle to Channel the Gift to fetch Ride the Lightning into my hand.
Explore.
Encounter aquatic diety, Avatar of Dagon. No biggie.
Defer to the inestimable Radovan for the first 42 Combat check.
<Pause turn for Rad's action>
<OUT OF TURN UPDATE>Shuffle Augury into deck for Ranzak. Discard Abadar for blankedty-blank Firedrake check. Glad to aid its demise.
Firedrake fire damage: d4 - 1 = 4 - 1 = 3
Discard Ride the Lightning, Ice Storm, Firesnake to Fire damage.

Before you act, if there are other cards in the location deck, the Avatar of Dagon is evaded; put him on the bottom of the location deck.

The original card 21: Karkinoi, henchman. Well, I was due.
Bring the heat: play Disintegrate. Discard my blessing (Veil, one die). Again add my poison bite by discarding Spite Cloud.

Celeste in the storm with the gang.

Trying to maximize scouting, I'll just explore first. (I can handle anything, right?)
Explore.
Monster 6, Pirate Sniper.
Silly sniper. Doesn't he know we are in a storm?
On the encounter, I play Cloudburst. Ignores BYA.
Asking Radovan for a blessing since he has 3. Holding on to mine for barrier-busting with Firesnake (I think Scott confused Veil with All-Seeing Eye). I never do the following, but this guy's a beast: discarding Wayfinder to add d8 Poison bite.
Combat 25:2d10 + 3d6 + 5 + 1d8 ⇒ (7, 3) + (3, 3, 6) + 5 + (7) = 34
Sure, didn't need the bite. Anydice had a 65% success w/out it.

Card 3: Item 5 (we knew this)
Card 4: Karkinoi, Henchman. (I kid you not)
Ranzak gets his wish, he gets to fight a Henchman.
Leaving the cards where they are in this order, going ahead with the granted explore.

Ally C.

It's going to be like this, eh?
Banish card 1, Ally C. Radovan gets a display from failed acquire
My plan is to discard a blessing to encounter the henchman, then Twisted Space him to someone who can actually fight.
I did not draw an attack spell (my favored card type is Spell or Blessing, and I always pick Spell), so if I hit a shark I'm toast. Plan is to scout well (using my cards, obviously) before exploring.

Scenario 6E was fifth at tier 6 for Celeste: no feat.
Scenario reward: random ally pull.
Pulled: Ally 4, Keren Rinst. Since her main power is to allow an off-turn move: Not taking.
Scenario upgrade: I'd like the spell 6. Chris confused me by saying in Hangouts that he'd give me first pick and yet still rolling a d1000 for the spell 6. Guaranteeing you he'd win the roll, but based on Hangouts I am taking the spell 6
Dropping Volcanic Storm, adding Disintegrate.

Celeste at Bow. Blessing (6 ahead) is Geryon (B6, original turn 16). There are 14 blessings in the discard pile.
SOT: Examine Bow using location power.
Bow original card 3: Monster 3, Canopy Creeper. Combat 15, immune to Elec/Mental/Poison.

Elyana then grants me a move, which I use to move to the Torture Pit.

Sea Fort card 2: Weapon 6, Old Salt's Rapier +2
My plan:
Stick around as need be, but will use Elyana in a pinch to:
- Examine any location
- Move to closed Murder Hole if safety is desired.
NOTE: Elyan's move ability does NOT say "not during encounter". But. Does it apply to the check or step? I think I'm taking damage it does.

Celeste at Shrine to Besmara. Blessing is Gods. (Not fighting Riptooth, then.)
SOT: Loving my hand, so not scouting.
Move step: The locations all suck, pretty much, so:
Move to Fort Hazard.
Explore.
Galvo, Monster 5.
BYA: Play Fire Snake, add Svingli's Eye (because ship is anchored here - thank God - and blessing is Gods).
Dex 13:1d10 + 5 + 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 5 + (2) + 2 = 11
88% chance of success. Gotta love Celeste's affinity for RNG.
Galvo is Aquatic, and Celeste's 2-die reroll power applies to *any* check against such a bane, not just combat:
Dex 13:1d10 + 5 + 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 5 + (3) + 2 = 14
Passed BYA.
Recharge attempt on Eye:
Survival 9:1d8 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9
Just rolling like gangbusters. Still,
Recharged Svingli's Eye.
Shuffle Fire Snake into deck.
Combat: Play Volcanic Storm, recharge Autumn Witch. Fire weakness adds d6.
Combat 18/22:2d10 + 4d6 + 5 ⇒ (10, 7) + (2, 6, 5, 4) + 5 = 39
Allright then.
Galvo banished
Shuffle Volcanic Storm into deck.
Got nothing to fight with, but I am holding a monster evade, so:
Discard Blessing of the All-Seeing Eye to do this:
-- Examine 2
-- Put those 2 back on top or bottom in chosen order
-- Explore (this is forced).
Fort Hazard card 4: Monster 6, Addu. Nasty dude.
Fort Hazard card 5: Item 4, Net of Snaring
Really no choice but to do this:
Put Fort Harzard card 4 (Monster 6, Addu) on bottom of deck.
Put Fort Hazard original card 5 (Item 4, Net) second from bottom.
Explore.
Ally 1, Conchobhar Turlach Shortstone
Cool. Thought'd it'd be a shark.
Dude is a Pirate. A freakin' Pirate, y'all.
Using my remaining blessing, with an eye on Lucrehold.
Charisma 7:2d10 + 3 ⇒ (4, 2) + 3 = 9 Acquired Conchobhar ally. I'm heading for Lucrehold next turn. Assuming Ranzak hasn't closed it.
Finally:
Discard Crystal Ball I got from Rad to examine my location.
Fort Hazard original card 7: Weapon 6, Enervating Pistol +3
Fort Hazard original card 8: Monster 5, Norgorber Cultist
Fort Hazard original card 9: Ally 1, Cut-Throat Grok (Pirate!)
The blanketedy-blank Henchman/Villain is the original card 10.
Choose NOT to explore.
Choosing 7/9/8 ordering, but defer to party: feel free to countermand prior to taking next turn.
The ally is an easy con/fort pickup (5), or a char/dip 7. Not sure if our martials want the Weapon 6. Ranzak might want to acquire W6, then A1, then scoot to Lucrehold.
EOT: Only card in hand is Twisted Space, which I want for the SOT encounter. No scouting.

Botting Ranzak's Draugr Captain encounter:
Ranzak encounters Draugr Captain.
Ranzak uses his power to evade & have a local character encounter the bane instead: using turn order:
Who:1d3 ⇒ 2 Radovan
Luck's on our side. Radovan evades the encounter Ranzak evaded.
Celeste's hand remains the last one I posted.

Keeping Blessing of Pharasma and risking a handwipe if I don't draw an Attack spell (or Twisted Space, though I was saving that ideally for Ranzak's encounter.)
Recharge the other 7 and draw 7. New hand:

6C is scenario 3 at tier 6 for Celeste, so no feat.
Upgrade: I was wrong, it is 5 and 6 Items I am looking for, not 4.
Ally 4: Rodrick out, Elyana in.
Rodrick had a recharge synergy with Alearon, who I ditched last scenario, to there is less reason to keep him.

<FIRST, MOPPING UP FORMER TURNS>
<MY LAST TURN>
There's no way at this point to recon the Brineborn Giant damage to Celeste. I was so certain of the ruling that BYA only damaged one character that I charged ahead - if I knew all 3 of us would take 3 I would have used Autumn Witch to evade. As it is used all but 1 card in in my hand I think (maybe all but 2). My pseudo-retcon will be: I will leave the 3 cards Grazzle healed in my discard. (That's a kludge, I admit, but there it is. And I'll be traveling all day and won't be around for disputation, I'm afraid....)
<RANZAK'S TURN>
Discard Blessing of the Seventh Veil for Ranzak.
Celeste at Eye of Serenity. Blessing is Sivanah (immediately regretting having discarded Veil, as it would recharge this turn.)
SOT: Recharge Ice Storm to examine Gol-Ghan Ruins. Location adds 1:
GG Ruins original card 5: Blessing of Hshurha
GG Ruins original card 6: Mugslip,the Villain
So that's that.
Chellish Marine encounters all local characters, so might as well take him on now.
Explore.
Chellish Marine.
Play Spite Cloud, recharge Autumn Witch for a die.
Combat 21:2d10 + 4d6 + 5 ⇒ (3, 10) + (1, 6, 2, 2) + 5 = 29 Chellish Marine defeated & banished.
Shuffle Spite Cloud into my deck.
Play Augury for Spell, location adds 1:
Eye of Serenity card 4: Monster 5, Kapre, Plant C20 w/BYA
Eye of Serenity card 5: Spell 2, Protect. Never liked this.
Eye of Serenity card 6: Monster 3, Blood Hag
Eye of Serenity card 7: Blessing C, Blessing of Milani

Ruined Amphitheatre card 1: Barrier C, Treasure Hunt
SOT 2: Teleportation Chamber teleports someone, rolling d4 in turn order:
Whisked:1d4 ⇒ 1 Radovan
Radovan teleports to the Teleportation Chamber
Y'all, we are facing a serious blessing shortage. I was going to go take out the Pirate Hunt, but I've a 57% chance rolling d8+6+d4 or d10+5+d4. [EDIT: I overlooked that Rad was holding a blessing.]
Not moving.
Explore at Teleportation Chamber.
Wand of Flame. Auto-acquire Arcane 6.
Wand of Flame acquired.
Discard Rodrick to explore.
Brineborn Giant, henchman.
I've a plan. Could evade with Autumn Witch, but charging ahead.
Someone takes 3 damage. Candidates are me, Radovan, Grazzle:

Dang. That was the worst outcome.
Grazzle takes 3 Combat damage. Radovan gains a display

Gotta admit, I forget what the boon roll is for. (Besides being for a boon of some kind.) I do recall success 1 or 20. Which almost never happens.
Boon roll:1d20 ⇒ 19
Nope.
Upgrade:
I did not realize Spell 6 was available.
My choice depends on wkover (I don't want us to contend for Ally 6s next time around).
If my freeing up an Ally 6 means he would take the Ally 6, then I'll take the Spell 6 instead (dropping Aqueous Orb, my multi-check spell, for Ride the Lightning, a far better multi-check spell, albeit with the downside of an Electricity trait).
If wkover wants to stick with the Weapon 6 he has, then I'll pass on the Spell 6, and instead drop Ally Alaeron for Ally 6 Autumn Witch.
On Hangouts I'm told an Ally 6 is available. (Thanks.)

How cruel - attacked by an old friend. (Or is Celeste the cruel one here?)
The straight-up roll is 75% success, and we all know Celeste can fail that. Twice. Maybe three times, even.
We've the time, so:
Discarding a blessing from the blessing timer to use the Abrogail's Fury power to add d12 to a check against a ship. (Yes, Celeste has been loafing by not taking more ship fights.) Flip Ranzak's turn 14 blessing, Blessing 1, Besmara.

Scar Bay is closed
Banished Fringes of the Eye card 1 (Pirate Hunting)
Celeste is at Fringes of the Eye
<PRIOR TO TURN> Ages ago, on Ranzak's turn, the goblin started a brawl.
Play my own Abadar vs Barroom Brawl.
Dex 11:3d8 ⇒ (6, 5, 2) = 13
Whew. That's good. It's tough falling behind the gameplay thread when I had about a 25% chance of taking 7 damage but then would just be healed for 1.
<ALSO PRIOR TO TURN>Healed for 1 by Grazzle. Thanks as always. Random heal is Abadar.
Celeste at closed Raker Shoals.
I think wkover called the wrong blessing - if we are +3 on the blessing timer, then I am flipping the turn 12 blessing. This is Blessing of Asmodeus (AD4).
SOT: No scouting - decks are known.
I've more an anti-monster hand than an anti-barrier hand, so:
Move to Scar Bay.
I am about to explore, and we know what is on top is an Item 4, Alkalai Flask.
I don't want this, and I don't recall folks asking for Item 4, and with Twisted Space in hand, it could be helpful to have our uber-martial here, so: Radovan recharges Skyplate Armor to move to Scar Bay, joining Celeste.
Explore.
Item 4, Alkalai Flask.
Choose not to acquire. Radovan displays Random Monster (not sure which #) by Quang. Banish Scar Bay card 3, Alkalai Flask.
Discard Blessing of the Elements to explore.
Explore:
Scar Bay original card 4:
Monster 6, Pirate Bomber.
Ok. Took me a moment to figure this out, but I think it plays like this:
When I encounter the Pirate Bomber, I play Cloudburst. This ignores the BYA power. For me. Under the oft-cited principle when you're told to ignore something, you are the only one who ignores it, Radovan happily suffers d4 Fire damage, which Norge lets him treat as 0, and gives him another random monster (# unknown) display, this time for Norge.
Add my Blessing of Pharasma to the check.
Combat 22:3d10 + 3d6 + 5 ⇒ (6, 6, 9) + (2, 4, 1) + 5 = 33
One soaking, fried, dead bomber.
Shuffle Cloudburst into my deck.
AYA: Bomber does d4 Poison damage to Radovan and me as parting gift. Radovan makes it 1 less.
Poison:1d4 - 1 ⇒ (3) - 1 = 2
Two is perfect. Discard Spite Cloud and Blessing of 7th Veil.
Radovan needs to take d4 AYA Poison damage from the Pirate Bomber. Banish Scar Bay original card 4, Pirate Bomber.
End of encounter: Celeste rides Cloudburst to Lonely Island. (To be away from brawls and goblins and such.)
EOT: Recharge the only card in my hand, Twisted Space, to examine Scar Bay.
Scar Bay original card 5: Ally P, Mogmurch. Dang. Ranzak, Mogmurch and Radovan sound like a match made... well, somewhere.
Displayed: Deck: 8 Discard: 5 Buried: 0
Notes: Eye: on ship d4+2/if timer=Gods,d8+2. Wayfinder: I can move then examine 2. Crystal Ball: discard to examine 3 at my location, re-order. Blessing available.

Celeste went to Scar Bay
Celeste called Radovan to Scar Bay (R. recharged Skyplate Armor)
Radovan used next TWO random monsters, gaining TWO displays (Quang display, Norge display)
Radovan suffered d4 Poison damage
Scar Bay original cards 3 (Item) and 4(Monster 6) banished
Scar Bay top card is original card 5 (Ally P, Mogmurch)
Fringes of the Eye still untouched (cards 1-10) with known card 1

Celeste is at Lonely Island
Timer is now on turn 13 (I think)
<PRIOR TO TURN>Grazzle heals Celeste 2. Thanks amigo.
Celeste at Lonely Island. Note Ranzak advanced the blessing timer by +2 - I flip the turn 7 blessing, Zogmugot.
SOT: Recharge Alaeron to examine Scar Bay.
Scar Bay original card 3: Item 4, Alkali Flask
Move to Raker Shoals. Normally I'd take Radovan with me but there's only room on my ship for one captain, thank you.
Explore.
Spell 2, Geyser. Choose not to acquire.
Banish Raker Shoals card 1, Geyser.
Don't have the best barrier-fighting (and realizing I should have recharged an Attack spell before heading to a location with zero monsters), but I'll discard ally Rodrick to explore.
Exploring Raker Shoals card 2.
Weapon 3. Choose not to acquire.
Banish Raker Shoals card 2, Musket +2
EOT: Recharge Ice Storm to examine Lonely Island.
Lonely Island top card:4 + 1d6 ⇒ 4 + (1) = 5 Weapon 6, Venomous Pike +2

Celeste is at Raker Shoals
Banished first two cards at Raker Shoals
Scar Bay top card is Item 4
Lonely Island top card is original card 5, Weapon 6
Celeste at Lonely Isle on a wicked ship. Blessing is Gods.
SOT: Not scouting. (Not sure which card I can afford to lose.)
The plan is to look at every deck, eventually.
Recharge Samisen to examine the top card of 3 locations:
Pinnacle Atoll card 1: Item 2, Periscope
Scar Bay card 1: Monster B, Marine
Raker Shoals card 1: Spell 2, Geyser
Really unexciting.
Not moving.
Debated exploring first vs using Crystal Ball. This places is loaded with barriers.
Going for the explore.
Explore.
Barroom Brawl. Str/Mel/Dex 11.
Very un-Celeste barrier. By chance I have the hand for it.
Play Fire Snake, add my Pharasma.
Melee 11:3d10 + 5 ⇒ (1, 10, 8) + 5 = 24 Barroom Brawl defeated.
Shuffle Fire Snake into my deck. (Yep, forgot the d4.)
Discard Crystal ball to examine 3, may re-order, may explore.
Lonely Island card 2: Barrier B, Ambush
Lonely Island card 3: Spell 5, Raise Dead
Lonely Island card 4: Weapon 6, Distance Musket +1
OK, I think I'll just set this deck for Ranzak, if he's interested: re-ordering like this:
Lonely Island:
Original card 4: Weapon 6
Original Card 3: Spell 5
Original Card 2: Ambush
EOT: Recharge Aqueous Orb to examine Fringes of the Eye:
Fringes of the Eye card 1: Monster B, Shackles Pirate

Scenario 6.1 for Celeste. Skill feat: Charisma (now +4).
Upgrade: I'd like the Blessing 6 if ok with party. (Looks like Chris & Scott are ok with it.) Would drop Blessing of the Spellbound for the UM Blessing of the All-Seeing Eye.
Temp close for Radovan villain fight. Presumes I still have Blessing of the Veil in hand.
Jungle temp close attempt:
Play Blessing of the Veil
Survival 11:3d8 + 6 ⇒ (2, 1, 8) + 6 = 17
Would have failed on a one-die blessing. I've really got a way with the die-rolling algorithm.
Jungle is temp-closed.
<OUT OF TURN> Recharge Blessing of the Spellbound for Grazzle.
Celeste at Jungle. Blessing is Kelizandri.
SOT: Recharge Fire Snake to examine Lucrehold.
Lucrehold card 1: Cryptic Runes, Henchman. (But you could have guessed that.)
Just staying put for the temp close.
EOT: No scouting needed, not cycling either.
